Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. The Government indicates that, although it is endeavouring to apply the provisions of the Convention more effectively, the current situation in the country does not yet permit the harmonization of the national legislation with the requirements with the Convention concerning Part X (Survivors' benefit), Articles 60 to 64, and Part XIII (Common provisions), Article 70 and Article 71, paragraph 1 (in relation with Part VII (Family benefit), Article 39). Furthermore, the Government states that it should be able to provide the information and statistics requested by the Committee in its 1992 direct request in its next report.

Under these conditions, the Committee hopes that, despite the difficulties that have been encountered, the Government will make every effort to give full effect to the above provisions of the Convention, and to compile and transmit the requested information. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would indicate any progress achieved in the formulation and adoption of the new Social Security Code.
